The Maximum width between newel post for the
MRGHUQ'HFN is 1813mm, this is due to the
maximum OHQJWKRIWKHKDQGUDLODQGWKHEUDFNHWV
WRIL[LWWRthe post (anything shorter than this you
will need to cut to size).
First we are going to assemble the newel base
connector and the support bar.
Take the long threaded bolt from the metal post
and thread it through the centre hole of the base
connector and screw the supplied nut from
underneath this is to lock the rod into place.
See Fig 1
You now need to sHcure the base connector to
either your timber base or concrete base (here you

careful not to damage any pieces (remember metal can scratch).
Take out your handrail brackets from their box and the bag of screws before you attach these to the
hand rail you will need to measure and mark the height the baserail should sit, this height should be
at 95mm above the deck board, once you have determined the height of the baserail place one of
the connector pieces against the newel post and mark onto your newel post the holes to secure the
handrail to the newel post,
Pilot drill the two holes into the metal newel post using a 3mm metal drill piece, repeat this procedure
on both newel posts.
Now slide the connectors over
the ends of the handrail (you
will only be able to put this
on one way) take two off the
silver self tapping screws and

Fixing the baserail to

Once you have connected these to both ends of
the handrail and have made sure they are secure
you are now ready to attach them to your Newel
posts.
Take the two screws that are coloured these will
attach the baserail to the newel post, line up your
baserail to the holes that you have already made

Fixing the baserail and newels to the decking
Once you have your baserail connected to your newel posts you can slide them as a unit
over the threaded metal polls that you have already
secured to your decking/patio (making sure that you have
the baserail to the bottom) ensure that both newel posts
sit perfectly within the newel post bases. See Fig 5
Once you have everything in place you will then need

threaded bolt and secure the newel post (do not tighten
these fully as you will need these to be slightly loose so
you have movement to secure your handrail. See Fig 6
Installing the glass panels
When it comes to installing your glass panels you will
need to folllow this formula to work out the gap size
between your glass panels.
Formula
Glass panel width x number of panels (that you are using) = A
Length of rail - A = B
B / number of panels (that you are using) + 1 = Size of Gap
Example
• 150mm x 7 = 1050mm
Glass panel width x number of panels (that you are using) = A
• 1813mm - 1050mm = 763mm
Length of rail - A = B
• 763mm / 8 = 9
B / number of panels (that you are using) + 1 = Size of Gap
Once you have your gap then you are ready to cut down

See Fig 9
Once you have both connectors
attached to your hand rail place
your handrail loosely over the

the handrail connectors on the
newel post.
Remove the handrail of the
glass panels
Pilot drill the holes into the metal
newel post using a 3mm metal

Fixing the handrail to the
newel post
We advise that you take care when you doing this
next bit we would advise you have some help.
We again advise you put some warm soapy water
around the rubber bit and we suggest placing the
rubber piece over the glass pieces and then sliding
the whole handrail carefully over the glass pieces
and allow it to ease into place.
Take the two screws that are coloured these will
attach the hailrail to the newel post, line up your
baserail to the holes that you have already made and
